A PECULIAR ease is detailed this morn
ing on our local page. A young man came
to this city bent upon making Rome
howl The initistOry step in this pro
eeeding was, OF course, to get as drunk as
he could without entirely incapacitating
himself for further operations. Having
accomplished this in a manner highly sat,
isfaetOry to himself he pushed the cam
paign into the territory of the demi-
monde, following the path we'll beaten by
the pedal extremities of that army of noble
pilgrims whose cross bears the motto
He who loves not women, wine
and song will be a fool bis lite long
Here, this pilgrim alleges, the natives rob-
bed him Of his pelf, or in the language OF
these crusaders, did nim up for his pile. "
The following day be appeared before a
Justice of the Peace TO get satisfaction and
his money from the Phillistines. Into the
ear of the Law he poured his tale. He had
scarcely begun before Zone dollar and
costs for drunkenness, " met his cans. He
recovered and continued his narrative,
He had gotten to the vital point when
Twenty dollars and costs for
adultery" brought him up with
a round turn. Lo! he had gone
to the law for consolation and re-
dress, and here he was with no redress,
aud instead made to be his own relentless
prosecutor Can it he denied that this
Justice Of the Peace is q genius; Over
looking the Law in the matter, which pro-
vides that witness testimony shall not
be used against himself, hOW will this case
as precedent work? The army OF pilgrims
to the land Of the demi.monde can 20 and
be robbed by wholesale, and ii the amount
of their loss do not exceed the costs
and fines of their crusade they will hesi-
tate before seeking redress at the hands OF
the law. Even il the amount Of the loss
justify the trial they have the certainty OF
the lines and costs and the uncertainty OF
getting back their property. Verify, the
way OF the Wheeling transgressor is hard!
IL HIS annual report Commodore WILL
SON, Chief OF the Bureau OF Construction
and Repair Of the Navy Department, gives
some interesting and encouraging intOr-
nation regarding our new navy now in
course of construction. He estimates that
at the present rate IN nine years we shall
have an entirely new stesl clad navy. The
establishment Of the gun factory at Wash.
ington and the introduction by the Beth
lehem Iron Works OF a plant to furnish
heavy armor and gun iorgings makes the
United States absolutely independent OF
other countries in this work. An ap-
proDristion Of 7l2 is asked for next
year. 4 portion Of the surplus could not
be better expended.

Bridge Inspection.

Mr. w. A. Kirk, Division Road
master OF the Atchisop, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad, arrived yesterday
morning from an inspection tour OF
bridges lying upon his division OF the
road. Hereports them all in a fine con-
dition, the old ones having been re-
paired until they are as good as new,
and new ones erected.
The heavy sixty-ton engines
will now run into the city,
whereas they have formerly been
compelled to stop at San Bernardino,
and lighter ones put on to pull the
trains here, as the bridges would not
support them. Mr.. Kirk will stay
ia the city to-day to start twelve
carpenters on the platform of the
burned depot. He says he thinks the
depot will be built upon its late site
probably of brick.

ceised and shipped without any delay
ether thae few hours the night of
the fire, and to-day large platform
will be constructed along the track
opposite the site of the old depot to
rcceiye 1t upon, while empty box-cars
will be used as storerooms until the
depot is finished. The safe will be
opened this morning and it is believed
and hoped that all it's contents will BIZ
found in good shape. 1t contains the
books OF the company and some i'm

The loss of the bills of lading for

not serious, and will only entail good

Among the heavy and irreparable
losses by the disastrous Santa Fe
depot fire was that OF our well.known
citizen, ID. Gilbert Dexter. His large
and costly library, containing some OF
the rarest volumes, pictures, silver
ware, bric-a- a-brac, heirlooms, etc., etc., /,
were all consumed. Money cannot
replace such effects. The money
value of the goods was over 5000.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dexter feel the loss
keenly. They have moved here to
make permanent home, and the ae-
ca.nulation of long years has been
swept away--things which make home
pleasant.

Some 58 years ago Godey's Lady $ Book was started, and for 8 half century it's title has been household word. Every one felt as if there had been a death Gin the family" when the venerable Sarah J. Hale, who had conducted it from the start, deceased. But she was over 80 years old, and knew the needs and taste of former gen. eration better than those of the present. And it is no disrespect to her to say that the reiuvenated Godey's, edited by "Jen- nie June, is an improvement on the old time periodical. It is in every way mod ernized and better adapted to the tastes of the ladies who have been born since the old magazine had lived out its first quarter century. The December number gives a steel portrait of the editress, Mrs. J. c. Oroly, whose face is well-betitted by her sunny non-deplume, ''Jenny June,'' be- sides also sketch of her career taken from the N.. Y. World.

As the interest in Thomas concert in creases and the time draws near, some &C., count of the fascinating pianist whom we are all so anxious to hear will not be a1aiss to our readers. She is a pure German, born in Hanover, and early manifested so strong tendency toward music that her father placed her under the the best in- structors with thorough musical training in view. She profited by Kullak's instruc- tion for some years, and then drawn to the Mecca of pianists went to Wiermer, where she became, to use trite expression, ..tthe favorite pupil of Lizst With our fair haired German piano player, however, this was fair statement, and at q royal concert given by her illustrious master, untier the patronage of the grand duke, she won all the renown possible, and compelled the admiration of the habitues of Liszt's conrt

 Later on, early Ill tAe spring, Mf.OeT1cho of the Boston Symphony Orchestra heard her play, and was so, delighted with her extraordinary talent inst he immediately engaged her for a concert. Her playing in Boston, in fact everywhere, created great enthusiasm. In short her playing is phe- nomenal.

 To the editor of The Press do not for an instant suppose that such injustice was intended, but an item in the The Press of last week does the greatest injust- ice to Rev. Dr. A. A. Miner, one of the greatest and noblest men in our land to- day. I do not go to Dr. Miner for my opinions; we are not agreed on many things, but admire him for his masterly ability and revere him for his stalwart christian worth and his grand courage, which never keeps back an honest convic- tion from any cowardly fear of conse- quences. For half century he has stood up for righteousness and law in most un- compromising and relentless fashion. do not know 8 man with whom principle means more than with Dr. Miner. He loves his country and the great crowning desire of his heart is to see the institutions of his country built up on the foundation of right principles. No one is more ear nest in demanding better laws and the righteous, impartial execution of the laws. Such man an anarchist, or guilty of expressing sympathy for ''anarchism," !" or any of it's phrases The simple thought is infinitely absurd. There is not grain of truth in the charge. In common with many other preachers, he took the "Chi- cago Anarchists" for the text of his sermon the Sunday following their execution The sermon was characteristic of the man. He spoke in strong condemnation of the terri hle crime committed and affirmed the jus tice of the punishment. Though not an advocate of capital punishment he reioiced in the fact that law and order had been vindicated. He declared that there was vast deal of anarchy in the country under the name and sanction of law. He declar- ed that whiskey and the whiskey power in this land are the very soul of anarchy and ruin. The Chicago anarchists deserved their fate. They were the sworn enemies of society and deliberately chose murder as their weapon for accomplishing their ends. But what shall we say of him who has been and is 50 vastly concerned by cer- tain kinds of anarchal manifestations and yet raises no protest against the terrible fact that 2300 rum shops, supported by the Edt08 of Massachusetts, dominate the city of Boston The sharp words of Dr.
 Miner may have caused some of his con grsgation to leave the church, l do not know about that, but am sure of this, he did not preach anarchy. In sorrow and indignation he affirmed the existence of anarchy in this land on g far larger scale than any true patriot can hope is consist ent with the taots. If you cannot afford space to print my entire letter, trust that you will be able and disposed to give the main points of it to your readers. Very truly yours, J. F. Sn6MoNs.
